I am thinking about buying a new Calais Sportwagon but I think the tailgate will open too high for the height of my garage ceiling (it’s pretty low). Is there anyway of limiting how high the tailgate can open??

According to what the Motor Vehicle Fleet Mananger at work told me – the VE Sportwagon is apparently out selling SUVs including the Kluger and the Territory.. maybe trends are changing…. or people are just being more practical

I have a 2005 VZ sedan thats done 225,000kms and have had no problems with it, however my sister in law has a new Omega Sportswagon company car and has had heaps of trouble with it after doing 30,000 kms. She had the preivious VZ executive wagon before and it was sold after hitting a huge 350,000kms with no problems (it was just 3 yrs old). She has also said that the space is horrbile as well as the blind spots compared to her VZ wagon and would prefer to drive a 350,000kms VZ executive before jumping happily into the new sportswagon. I have to purchase a wagon myself, in order to care for my grandmother, but I am definately going to look for a VZ executive wagon before even going into Holden to purchase a new sportswagon.

And on the R8 version,
It sooo needed the sedan style tail lights to really set it off

Ok Steve fair enough.

No racism had here though.
Plenty of people crying out for it in an attempt to try and defame certain individuals.

Andrew, as I said, I believe Andrew Symonds was called a monkey because of the way he looked, ie dark skinned. I don’t see many white people being called a monkey in a derogatory way.

Also, agree with Nobody that the R8 version is a good looking car for a wagon.

Steve,
Calling Andrew Symonds a monkey in no way refers to a race unless the Andrew symonds of the world declare themselves a race

The Andrew Symonds incident was nothing more than an offencive remark.

My fav out of all the wagons would be the same as Pious’s…The Sportwagon would be my second choice ,R8 is great bang for your buck I think!
